Police Commissioner Bill Bratton defended the city’s model of “broken windows” policing on Thursday, warning that moving away from enforcing quality-of-life offenses could lead to a slip back to the rampant crime of the 1980s and early 1990s.

But Bratton is willing to budge on the penalty of these low-level crimes, especially if it means freeing up officers from attending court hearings in public urination and turnstile-

jumping cases.

Bratton released a 41page report during a meeting of NYPD executives at the Police Academy in Queens. Earlier this week, talk of City Council decriminalizing certain offenses, such as drinking in public, swirled through the city and endorsed

by City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.

Opponents of “broken windows” policing say the tactic unfairly targets minority communities.

Bratton said Thursday that he’s open to formal discussions with City Council, especially with regard to penalties, but said his officers still need to have the power to enforce

Protest. NYPD says 143 protesters arrested at Union Square

The NYPD at Wednesday’s Solidarity With City of Baltimore rally at Union Square / MILES DIXON

The NYPD arrested 143 people Wednesday night when an estimated 1,000plus protesters took to the streets of Manhattan to condemn the killing of Freddie Gray by Baltimore police.

Both Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and Chief of Department James O’Neill said they believed officers were “extremely flexible” when dealing with protesters. O’Neill

said at a press conference Thursday he didn’t think officers were more aggressive than usual, as alleged by protesters, and that the Baltimore unrest didn’t factor into the NYPD’s strategy.

Two people were arrested for felony assault on a police officer. Of the 143 arrests, 25 were for misdemeanor charges such as resisting arrest, and many of the offenses were for

obstructing traffic.

Protesters temporarily blocked the Holland Tunnel, and stopped pockets of traffic across the city.

The also tried to gain access to the West Side Highway.

O’Neill said 400 cops from the outer boroughs were brought in to assist with the rally.

Bratton said fewer protesters were arrested Wednesday than during

a December protest that followed a grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo for his role in Eric Garner’s death.

The city’s response to the “peaceful protest” was condemned by activist groups such as Communities United for Police Reform.

More protests are planned for Friday, police said. WENDY JOAN BIDDLECOMBE

Science says you should skip work Monday Weather. Those perfect spring days are just as rare as they seem.

Is it finally summer yet?

After what feels like weeks of almost-summer days quickly turning back into chilly winter nights, New York is finally in for what we consider a perfect day on Monday.

And we’d better make the most of it, because days like these are not as common as you think.

Metro asked a Pennsylvania state climatologist at Penn State University to count the number of nearperfect days residents in Philadelphia, for example, gets per year.

Our definition: 60 to 75 degrees, mostly sunny,

with a slight breeze. The scientists checked their database.

Those conditions, at least as recorded at the Philadelphia International Airport, had to hold for any eight-hour period during daylight hours.

The scientists searched their database, going back 67 years to 1948.

They found that residents of the city can expect just 8.7 days of nearperfect weather per year.

We’re optimists. We’ll call it nine.

The forecast says Monday will be sunny, with highs in the mid-70s.

Maybe a little higher than perfect, but good enough.

Take our advice: Skip work.

NIDHI PRAKASH @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

By the numbers According to the data, there have been just 583 such days in Philadelphia between Jan. 1, 1948 and Dec. 31, 2014, There have been 119 in May, 171 in September and 139 in October.

Online racism. NYC ahead of rest of state New York City is less racist than the rest of the state — at least online — according to a new study of Google searches released this week.

Upstate New York ranked among the worst parts of the country in how many searches included the “N-word.” New York City was better but still comparatively worse than the average across the country.

Researchers behind the study looked at Google searches containing the “N-word” in 196 designated market areas across the country for four years.

They found a connection between what they defined as Internet-based racism and black mortality. In areas with more searches including the “N-word,” there was an 8 percent increase in black mortality rates, which is equal to 30,000 deaths annually.

The researchers said in the report that the results can’t be seen as a direct

cause-and-effect pattern but that they raise some interesting questions.

The most racist parts of America based on the Google searches, the study found, were parts of the South, pockets of the Midwest and some parts of the Northeast, including upstate New York, Pennsylvania and rural Massachusetts.

Areas in eastern Massachusetts, including Boston and Cape Cod, were among the least racist, or at the very least featured fewer racial slur Google searches, according to the study. NIDHI PRAKASH

Police report: No evidence Gray fatally injured during his arrest Police. They handed their investigative files over to prosecutors a day earlier than planned.

A preliminary probe has found no evidence that 25-year-old Freddie Gray was fatally injured during his videotaped arrest in Baltimore, a local ABC affiliate reported on Thursday, citing sources briefed on the police report and on findings made by the medical examiner.

The medical examiner found Gray’s catastrophic injury was caused when he was slammed into the back of the police transport van and apparently broke his neck. Law enforcement sources also said Gray sustained a head injury that matches a bolt in the back of the police van, the affiliate

Gray’s death a week after his arrest sparked violent protests over police treatment of minorities. The police report was not released to the

public, but handed over on Thursday to the city’s chief prosecutor. The U.S. Department of Justice has also launched an investigation into Gray’s death.

Aviation. US switches air traffic control to new computer system The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has switched much of the U.S. air traffic control system to a new advanced computer system designed to reduce flight delays and improve aircraft fuel efficiency, officials said on Thursday.

FAA Administrator Michael Huerta told reporters that the $2.5 billion satellite-based En Route Automation Modernization, or ERAM, system has now fully replaced generationsold radar tracking. It was installed a month ago at the 20 FAA air traffic control centers in the continental United States.

ERAM is intended as

“You can kind of think of ERAM as a foundational technology — an iPad. ... We’ll be building additional applications on top of it.” Huerta

the backbone of an effort to overhaul aviation systems with nextgeneration technology. It would help the U.S. aviation system cope with an expected 50 percent rise in air passengers over the next two decades, by enabling air traffic controllers to track more flights over larger areas.

Officials said the new system, implemented after about five years of delays and $350 million in cost overruns, should reduce flight delays and boost fuel efficiency by expediting departures and setting more accurate course and speed corrections while aircraft are between gates.

Two rescued from rubble in Kathmandu Safety. Child, woman pulled from destruction after being trapped for five days.

Hundreds cheered as rescuers toiling amid rubble left by Nepal’s earthquake pulled a boy and a woman to safety on Thursday after they had been trapped for five days.

A 23-year-old maid, Krishna Devi Khadka, was found lying along with the bodies of three other people, police said.

Officials said the chances of finding more survivors were fading as the death toll reached 5,858.

But Nepal’s Armed Police Force managed to save 15-year-old Pema Lama from the collapsed ruins of Kathmandu’s Hilton Hotel.

“I saw the police drilling for four hours to remove mounds of debris before they could pull him out,” said Ambar Giri, a medical worker at the scene.

Away from the capital, aid was finally reaching some of Nepal’s remote towns and villages nestled among mountains and foothills, where the extent of the damage and loss of life has yet to be properly

assessed.

From an army helicopter flying from Chautara, northeast of Kathmandu, toward the Tibet border, a Reuters witness estimated 70 to 80 percent of buildings had been severely damaged.

In a remote village, an army medical team treated injured locals and soldiers supervised the unloading of goods on a muddy expanse of ground next to a school that served as a helipad.

In Chautara itself, a few people cleared rubble from the upper floors of their houses and mixed cement by the roadside, as the long rebuilding process began.

It said 8 million people had been affected, with at least 2 million in need of tents, water, food and medicines over the next three months.

An official from Nepal’s home ministry said the number of confirmed deaths from the 7.8 magnitude earthquake had risen to 5,858 by Thursday afternoon, and almost 13,800 were injured.

Anger over the pace of the rescue has flared in some areas, with Nepalis accusing the government of being too slow to distribute international aid that

This is the time of year when brains are turned off, rebuilding for the fall, when they will once again be overused. Luckily, Hollywood has your back.

Starting with the sequel “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” out today, many of this summer’s blockbusters boast numbers or new secondary titles, and even the original films tend to be mash-ups of proven entities. But hey, at least there are zero Adam Sandler films!

‘Poltergeist’ (May 22) Type: Remake On the list of movies that needn’t be remade goes this 1982 creeper, no less because its key image — television fuzz — doesn’t even exist anymore. No matter: The cast is a critic’s dream, with Rosemarie DeWitt, Sam Rockwell and Jane Adams(!), and director Gil Kenan, of the sharp “Monster House,” knows how to do more than boo scares.

And if it isn’t, and you have to see it anyway, maybe it won’t make you yearn for death?

‘Jurassic World’ (June 12) Type: Sequel/quasi-reboot Don’t lie: When you saw the indie time-travel rom-com “Safety Not Guaranteed,” your main takeaway was, “The guy who directed this should make a movie about killer dinosaurs.”

Either way, Colin Trevorrow took the reins of this 20-years-later fourquel, in which humanity has forgotten the lessons of the original three, namely that dinos and humans don’t mix — unless one of those humans is a weirdly ripped Chris Pratt.

‘Terminator: Genisys’ (July 1) Type: Sequel No one much liked “Terminator: Salvation,” but, to borrow a line from another summer franchise, life finds a way. The fifth entry pits Ah-nuld, Emilia Clarke and Jai Courtney against a robo-John Connor (Jason Clarke) as well as a digitally younger Ah-nuld. Does this even make time machine-y sense? Or are they just trying to milk more out of a barren series? Either way, the series, like the old T-1000, can’t be stopped.

‘Magic Mike XXL’ (July 1) Type: Sequel It’s not yet clear if the second stripper Channing Tatum number will be more of the same or another

Type: Sequel After his misbegotten but noble “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” Seth MacFarlane returned to UNIVERSAL PICTURES normal duties, making this follow-up about Marky Mark and a talking plush bear.

Amanda Seyfried has taken over for Mila Kunis, but we’ll just assume there will still be jokes about marijuana and ’80s pop culture.

‘Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation’ (July 31) Type: Sequel The shape-shifting series winds up in the hands of Christopher McQuarrie, author of “The Usual Suspects” and, perhaps more importantly, director of the enjoyably terse Tom Cruise vehicle WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC.

“Jack Reacher.” There will be insane stunts where Cruise truly risked life and limb just to entertain us, but whatever happens, it will probably be almost nothing like the “Mission: Impossible” TV show.

‘Fantastic Four’ (August 7) Type: Straight-up reboot When the last batch of “Fantastic Four” movies emerged, it was a simpler time, when characters from comic books weren’t yet moody brooders out of a Thomas Hardy novel. Now with a new cast, two of them airlifted from last year’s horrific Zac Efron rom-com “That Awkward Moment,” we can learn the true anguish of being a guy who turns into fire and stuff.

‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II: The Green Legend’ (August 28) Type: Belated sequel It only took 15 years — psst, you’re very old — but the sequel to the art-house asskicker is here, albeit with only Michelle Yeoh returning. This looks altogether more like traditional martial arts fare; instead of being directed by the tasteful Ang Lee, it’s handled by legend Yuen Wo-Ping, who made the early Jackie Chan greats “Drunken Master” and “Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow.”

The summer’s original ideas

‘Ant-Man’ (July 17) The definition of “originalish,” this Marvel movie promises to be an outlier — or at least it would have been had Edgar Wright not walked off the project at the last second, suggesting that the company was into being eccentric but, you know, not actually eccentric. Still, this is a mostly (or kind of) comedic entry, starring Paul Rudd and co-written by Adam McKay, that we’re assuming will still build to an endless and clanky action super-climax before 10 post-credits sequences touting characters you’ve never heard of.

“Ant-Man” MARVEL

Amy Schumer hits the big screen but in a smart way, teaming up with Judd Apatow for a dirty rom-com. We’re excited because of Schumer, but we’re also excited because this was lensed by great cinematographer (and, with “Ballet 422,” director) Jody Lee Lipes, who did up the likes of “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” “Afterschool” and the first season of “Girls.” Apatow’s films tend to look barely serviceable, but this should be a rare comedy that’s actually pleasant to look at.

‘Straight Outta Compton’ (August 14) You’re not a god until you have a splashy biopic. So congrats, N.W.A.! Better yet, their story is

pretty crazy, so even if this is a stuffy genre entry, it will at least be one that features hairpin plot turns in addition to some of the best music of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

What to expect from ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ The Avengers are back, and they’ve got some new friends — and foes.

James Spader got a crash course in Marvel moviemaking

NED EHRBAR @Nedrick ned.ehrbar@metro.lu

The follow-up to 2012’s massive “The Avengers” promises to be even more gargantuan, with new superheroes, more story to tell and one really shiny, really deadly villain. So here’s what you need to know going into “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

There are secrets the cast can’t divulge Mark Ruffalo, who stars as the Hulk, says their studio bosses have ways of making

them not reveal spoilers. “You know, we have a Marvel app on our iPhones, and if you say something wrong, it literally shocks you,” he says. OK, maybe they don’t really, but we wouldn’t put it past them.

Speaking of secrets…

Black Widow did not do her own stunts

It nearly killed Joss Whedon “There’s like 47 of these people, and I really didn’t think that through. And I regret very much doing this at all,” jokes the writerdirector, who was under tremendous pressure to follow up the critical and financial success of the first film.

“At some point during the editing process, I could not have told you who they were, who I was, what movie I was making. I got so lost in it. But, I think it all came together.”

“I don’t think you’re allowed to ride a motorcycle when you’re still pregnant,” Scarlett Johansson says. “I embarrassingly rode some sort of a mechanical bull type of motorcycle which goes nowhere and doesn’t look cool at all. But we had some very professional and amazing motocross work being done that makes Black Widow look like a total badass.”

Hawkeye speaks!

Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye didn’t get a whole ton of screen time in the first “Avengers,” so he gets a bit more attention this time around. “I speak in this movie, which is awesome,” Renner jokes. “I understood Hawkeye in the sense of he’s a human, just

with a high skill set. So I could tap into that, and I feel like I got to explore a little bit more of that, even outside the skill set. I thought that was a really, really endearing and thoughtful sort of secret that he had. I’m excited to kind of see where that goes.”

Iron Man didn’t do any meddling According to franchise star Robert Downey Jr., he didn’t have to do any meddling with the script this time around. “I read [Joss Whedon’s] script. I said, ‘I think this is great.’ [Marvel honcho] Kevin [Feige] said, ‘You never say that. You can’t mean that,’” Downey recalls. “I thought it was a Swiss watch to begin with.

So rather than dig in my heels and try to rewrite every scene … I just showed up, and it turned out great.”

The “Blacklist” star embodies the chillingly evil robot Ultron, bent on destroying the Avengers — and humanity in general.

And he barely had any time to get into character. “I really didn’t have any idea what was happening at all. I really was just trying to hold on and stay on the train that was moving very, very quickly,” Spader says. “Luckily, I’d had some conversations with Joss and one fantastic meal with a whole bunch of wine to figure out who this guy was.”

Why the Meatpacking District makes sense for the museum.

The Whitney’s new hip home

RAQUEL LANERI @metronewyork

raquel.laneri@metro.us

On Thursday, first lady Michelle Obama joined New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and a host of art world luminaries to open the new Whitney Museum, located in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.

The new Renzo Pianodesigned structure — an asymmetrical, tiered, white building that echoes the neighborhood’s industrial flavor — nearly doubles the Whitney’s exhibition space, with both indoor and outdoor galleries and giving over two floors just to the museum’s permanent holdings. But it also trades the museum’s former UES toniness for the grittier glamour of downtown. “[The galleries] will be a game changer,” said chief curator Donna De Salvo in a statement. “They will afford a level of space ... to display both iconic works and present provocative

new narratives of art in the United States.”

And, what better place to present provocative new narratives — to shake up the Whitney’s own sleepy image — than the base of the High Line, Manhattan’s once-seediest spot turned tourist destination du jour?

“It is certainly a daring move,” says Paula

Cooper, who opened her eponymous gallery in the surrounding area back in 1996. “The Whitney has always been thought of as a more conservative institution, [but] this move and the programming of the past couple of years has shown that it is on a more exploratory and exuberant path.”

“The Whitney was

the middle of that.”

In other words, the location is more in line with the Whitney’s mission: to showcase 20th century and contemporary American art. (The fact that the High Line gives the area a bit of an alternative Museum Mile feel is a bonus.)

But the Whitney’s arrival gives the community a certain cachet, too. “It’s

a great institutional presence that will really anchor the art world in the area,” says Friends of the High Line co-founder Robert Hammond. “The Chelsea scene can be intimidating. But the Whitney is a known name, and that’s going to draw an enormous amount of people who otherwise might not have come.”

“For some time now the center of the art world has really shifted to this part of Manhattan, so it’s really not a surprise that the museum would want to be in the middle of that.”

History lesson The Meatpacking District’s journey from sleazy drug scene to vaunted home of the Whitney represents one of New York City’s most drastic transformations.

It is named for the slaughterhouses and packing plants that dominated the area in the early 1900s. But by the 1960s, changes in the food industry (refrigerated trucks, frozen foods, supermarkets), led to the meat industry’s decline.

Other businesses took its place: prostitution, drugs and gay sex clubs, which operated after the remaining slaughterhouses and meatpacking facilities would close for the night.

“You did not see a child or baby carriage for 50 blocks in any direction,” says Cooper, who

moved to nearby Chelsea in 1987 before moving her gallery from Soho to 21st Street and 10th Avenue. “It was totally deserted and a little spooky.”

“I remember first walking through the Meatpacking District,” says the High Line’s Robert Hammond. “The streets were slippery because of all the blood.”

By the 1990s, however, the tenor of the neighborhood was beginning to change.

“It’s a dead classic instance of transformation via gentrification,” says Michael Sorkin, an architect and urban historian.

“These marginal spaces on the economic margins always attract people, and Meatpacking District’s illicit uses of the piers, the fact that it was a meatmarket in both senses, gave it edginess and hipster cachet.”

After the artists came the fashion designers. “My son thought I was crazy,” Diane Von Furstenberg said in a previous interview about moving to the area 20 years ago. “But it has everything that is great about New York: the energy, the grit.”

But it was the High Line that really transformed the ’hood, making it a family-friendly tourist destination. The elevated park provided a link to the nightlife area, the markets, and — yes — the dozen or so meatpacking facilities still in operation to the art galleries further north. And with the development of Hudson Yards, to the north, you can expect even more changes. “You’re going to have a whole-new city building up there,” says Hammond. “Who knows what the future of the area will hold.”

Parents needed to prevent violence Let me applaud the super mom in Baltimore named Toya Graham for stepping up to the plate and slapping her son Michael and taking him home during the violence in Baltimore.

Her 16-year-old son would have been hurt, and he intended to hurt more Baltimore police officers with rocks. It is times like this that parents need to take the upper hand and put boundaries and curfews for their children. Children and teens stay out of trouble when parents are involved. Like a saying that is posted on one of our TV stations that has been said for years, “It is 10 p.m.

Do you know where your

children are?”

FREDERICK R. BEDELL JR.

The tragic death of Freddie Gray needs to be investigated by Attorney General Lynch’s office. If the police are responsible for Mr. Gray’s death, then they should be charged accordingly. But you can’t blame the police because half of the students in Baltimore didn’t finish high school. The culture needs to change, and education needs to be a priority. If you father a child then you need to pick up that responsibility and be there, period.

No excuses. Your job is to raise your child, not the government’s. Absentee fathers can no longer be tolerated. Single-parent households are difficult for everyone involved.

When this occurs, gangs become the new family.

The Rangers left MSG stunned after Thursday’s loss. / GETTY IMAGES

It doesn’t get more devastating than this.

After surrendering a first period goal, the Rangers fought hard in a brutal battle in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals Thursday night.

But with one second left (you read that right), Joel Ward jabbed a puck past Henrik Lundqvist to steal a victory for Washington, 2-1.

The goal came on assists from Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom and nearly didn’t happen if not for a last ditch effort.

The slate A look at when and where the Rangers will play next: •

Game 2: at New York Saturday (12:30 p.m., NBC)

•

Game 3: at Washington Monday (7:30 p.m., NBCSN)

•

Game 4: at Washington Wednesday (7:30 p.m., NBCSN)

•

Game 5*: at New York Friday, May 8 (7 p.m., NBCSN) *If necessary

The Caps got a power play goal from the best hockey player on the planet, Ovechkin (from John Carlson and goalie Braden

Holtby) with just over a minute to go in the first period to give Washington the momentum early, quieting a rowdy Madison Square Garden crowd.

A physical second period ensued, but neither team was able to find nylon after 40 minutes of play.

The equalizer came just in the nick of time, a Kevin Hayes pass set up a timely strike from Jesper Fast around the four-minute mark, his first career playoff goal.

But it didn’t matter once the lightning bolt struck in the World’s Most Famous Arena, setting the Rangers back 0-1 in the seven-game set.

MAYWEATHER VS. PACQUIAO Boxing. Finally, “the Fight” is here.

After nearly five years of negotiations, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, the two best fighters in the world and the sport’s two biggest stars, will finally go headto-head in the ring on Sat-

urday (9 p.m., PPV). Why is this fight such a big deal?

Many experts agree that the encounter between Mayweather and Pacquiao is the most important fight in recent years.

“Floyd has won world titles in five different weight classes, while Pacquiao has also won titles in multi divisions and has earned the accolade of all

time great. Many are referring to the richest boxing match in history as a mega-fight,” James Blears, editor of the World Boxing Council’s website, told Metro.

Another reason that makes the bout so popular and compelling is the difference between the boxers’ personalities. Norm Whitehurst, coordinat-

ing producer for ESPN, explains that Floyd is the brash, multi-multimillionaire who burns $100 bills for fun and flaunts his money with exotic car collections and private jets, whilst Manny is the quietspoken, always-smiling Filipino congressman who may very well be president of his country someday.

He adds: “You have two

clashing personalities that people fall behind. So the fan bases of both fighters, both hardcore fans and new fans, are very passionate.”

Mark Butcher, editor of Boxing Monthly Online, is in the minority, thinking this is the best time for Mayweather and Pacquiao.

“The Filipino has re-

built his career and, with Mayweather’s incredible reflexes dulling with age, there is a strong argument that this fight will be more competitive than had they fought at their respective peaks in 2010,” Butcher explained.

San Felipe Stakes and Santa Anita Derby at Santa Anita Park in California. He’s trained by one of the best in the game in Bob Baffert (who has three Derby wins to

his credit), and will be ridden by an elite jockey in Martin Garcia. But because he has such strong credentials his post-time odds are likely to be less than salivating. Just

betting Dortmund to win won’t yield a large profit, but betting him on top in exactas and trifectas is a tempting alternative if you’re looking to make a big score.

International Star is 3 for 3 this year, with all those wins coming in stakes races at the Fair Grounds in Louisiana. He does his best running from well behind, and that style usually pays dividends in the Kentucky Derby. He will be ridden by Miguel Mena, who normally plies his trade with great success at Churchill Downs. One word of caution though: The Louisiana Derby has not produced a Kentucky Derby winner since 1996 (Grindstone).

DO YOU HAVE PIC DERMATITIS? DE ATOPIC

His career only began in January, so Materiality will be trying to become the first horse not to race as a 2-year-old to win the Kentucky Derby since Apollo in 1882. He has developed into a top-class runner, fairly quickly for Todd Pletcher, taking the Islamorada Handicap and Florida Derby down at Gulfstream Park in Florida in preparation for this race. Materiality is a son of Afleet Alex, who won the 2005 Preakness and Belmont Stakes and finished third in the Kentucky Derby, so he is likely to handle the demanding 10 furlong distance.

Materiality has tended to race toward the front in his young career, but he is not as naturally speedy as some of the other runners in here, so he’ll likely be sitting behind the leaders

until it’s time to make his move. If he goes off above 10-1 I would consider that fair value, but he will have to deal with Dortmund.
